You need the fan to run as set at the factory to control the temperature, so if the fan is too loud, look for replacement fans that are quieter. I'm very puzzled as to why Apple chose to put noisy fans in the powerbooks.<br> <br> <br> Dimitar Georgievski wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:CAHSnsob5sv+JfT1Pe7PjvASfV-HsnNRV9TadtpqYdYJghArrGg@mail.gmail.com" type="cite">Hi, <div><br> </div> <div>I just installed YDL on my Power G5 1.8 GHz and the fan is out of control.
